Thanks to NetGalley and Lee & Low Books for letting me read and review this book.
The beginning was kind of slow for me; I think it was the uniquely spelled words that slowed me down a little, but after the first couple of pages it quickly picked up.
This story takes place sometime in the future and is set on a planet called Loka, which closely resembles Earth. Kayla and her best friend, Mishalla, are GENs, Genetically Engineered Non-humans, GENs are not born but made. They are the lowest class in the social system. With trueborns being the highest and the lowborns being the middle of the system. What’s the purpose of GENs? To serve as slaves to the trueborns.
When Kayla turns fifteen she is assigned as a caregiver to a trueborn elderly man, while Mishalla is assigned to taking care of orphan lawborn children. When the lowborn children start to disappear; she puts her life at risk to find out what’s happening to them.
Tankborn is a great dystopian novel that any science fiction fan would love, it was fast paced and has a lot of twist and turns in it that I didn’t see coming. I would like to purchases the book just so I can re-read it sometime.

I won't be able to leave a review for this book; I requested it in a past lifetime of my NetGalley use and it no longer fits with my reading interests. If I ever do end up reading it I'll come back and update this!
